Abstract
Abstract The development of tin (Sn)‐based perovskite solar cells (PSCs) is hindered by their lower power conversion efficiency and poorer stability compared to the lead‐based ones, which arise from the easy oxidation of Sn 2+ to Sn 4+ . Herein, phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (PHCl) is introduced into FASnI 3 (FA = NH 2 CH NH 2 + ) perovskite films to reduce the existing Sn 4+ and prevent the further degradation of FASnI 3 , since PHCl has a reductive hydrazino group and a hydrophobic phenyl group. Consequently, the device achieves a record power conversion efficiency of 11.4% for lead‐free PSCs. Besides, the unencapsulated device displays almost no efficiency reduction in a glove box over 110 days and shows efficiency recovery after being exposed to air, due to a proposed self‐repairing trap state passivation process.
